Just can't stop Spellchecking!

Trouble with the wife's Outlook:

Originally using Outlook 2000: whenever she tries to send or reply to
message, she no sooner starts typing than the spellcheck window opens u
and tries to correct her, making continuous typing impossible. W
disabled everything in the Spelling Options - no difference. W
disabled "use MS Word to edit email messages" - still no difference. W
scanned for viruses - nope. We called out the guy from Dell, wh
pottered around, and suggested we do a full re-install (hurrah!).

So we did: reformatted, re-installed everything from scratch
including Outlook 2003, repeat 2003. And still the same problem!

Background info: we're running Windows XP Home Edition, with up-to-dat
viruschecker and firewall (both Macafee). We're both computer-competent
but neither of us are whizzkids.

How can we kill this overenthusiastic spellchecker?! Any ideas muc
appreciated!

Regards


Jame

Try also UNselecting Word for reading incoming messages. It's the box right
under "Word as Editor."

Does that help?

Oh. You might also go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/I-net
Options/Programs, and kill Word there, too.

Any better? Let me know what you eventually find out.
